Abstract:
The SOAR (Stop, Observe, Ask, Respond) to Health and Wellness Training (SOAR) Demonstration Grant Program was developed in response to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386), § 106(b), as amended (22 U.S.C. 7104(b)(1) and 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), which calls on agencies to “increase public awareness of the dangers of trafficking and the protections that are available for victims of trafficking” and provide “services to assist potential victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons.” The program’s goal is to fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and capacity building efforts to identify, treat, and respond to patients or clients who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended, among their patient or client population. SOAR is a nationally recognized, accredited training program delivered by OTIP’s National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) and designed to help target audiences identify and respond to those who are at risk of, are currently experiencing, or have experienced trafficking and connect them with needed resources. This information collection will enable OTIP to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, including required contributions to the annual Attorney General’s Annual Report to Congress on U.S. Government Activities to Combat Trafficking in Persons.
